What's So Funny? Comedy As A Point Of View

Comedy is more than a punchline. It is a way of looking at the world.

In a moment when demand for comedy is high but truly distinctive voices remain rare, this panel explores how writers develop their own comedic perspective.

What makes a voice stand out? How do cultural context, personal experience and worldview shape what we find funny? And can “funny” be crafted or does it ultimately depend on how a writer observes, interprets and distorts reality?

Bringing together leading comedy creators, the conversation looks at humour as an expression of voice, perspective and timing, and asks why original comedic viewpoints matter more than ever.
